An ideal solution consisting of 79 wt% benzene (C6H6) and 21 wt% toluene (C7H8) was heated in a closed vessel to 50 ºC. What is

the mole fraction of benzene in the vapour phase when equilibrium was reached at 50 ºC? Round your answer to two significant figures.
Data: Vapour pressure of benzene at 50 ºC = 271 mmHg

Vapour pressure of toluene at 50 ºC = 91.5 mmHg

In this case, according to the Raoult's law, we can find the mole fraction of 79 wt% benzene and 21 wt% toluene at 50 °C in the vapor phase as follows:

y_iP=x_iP_i

However, we first have to calculate the mole fractions in the solution as follows (b stands for benzene and t for toluene):

\\x_b=0.79\frac{g\ benzene}{g\ solution} *\frac{(78.11*x_b+92.14*x_t)}{1mol\ solution} *\frac{1mol\ toluene}{78.11g\ toluene} \\\\x_b=0.79\frac{g\ benzene}{g\ solution} *\frac{78.11*x_b+92.14*(1-x_b)}{1mol\ solution} *\frac{1mol\ toluene}{78.11g\ toluene}\\\\x_b=0.79*(x_b+1.18*(1-x_b))\\\\x_b=0.79x_b+0.932-0.932x_b\\\\x_b=\frac{0.932}{1+0.932-0.79} =0.816\\\\x_t=1-x_b=1-0.816=0.184

Next, we calculate the total pressure as follows, according to the Dalton's law:

P=x_bP_b+x_tP_t=0.816*271mmHg+0.184*91.5mmHg=237.972mmHg

Finally, the mole fractions of the vapor phase turn out:

y_b=\frac{0.816*271mmHg}{237.972mmHg}=0.929\\\\y_t=1- 0.929=0.071

Fofino [41]

Option A is correct. When a person says "<em>I think</em><em> that between an elephant and a monkey that jumped off the cliff, both of them will hit the ground at the same time."</em> the person is stating his Hypothesis

A hypothesis is an explanation proposed or given based on a piece of evidence that is limited.

It is useful at the beginning of an investigation because it serves as the building block for an impending fact or law.

From the statement, we can see that the person is not too sure of the information provided since he "thinks". <em>He said, </em><em>"I think</em><em> that between an elephant and a monkey that jumped off the cliff, both of them will hit the ground at the same time." </em>

<em />

Hence we can conclude that the person is stating a hypothesis.

Law and theory are incorrect because they are already proven facts.

user100 [1]
If there is no net force on an object, then the object will <span>maintain it's rate of speed. Basically, net force is the change in an object's motion. If it is stationary and not moving, the object will stay stationary. If the object is moving at a rate of 2 miles per hour, it will constantly continue to move 2 mph because there is no net force.</span>
